Big Data Viz Challenge

The European “Big Data Viz Challenge”, sponsored by Google and Tableau, is a competition where you can showcase your skills by analysing and visualising patterns and insights from Big Data.
We challenge you to create a visualisation ("Viz") based on any topic you want; as long as the data includes the GDELT datasource. You could be the next Big Data Champion and win a trip to the Tableau Conference in Austin and tour the Google office. Read the official rules.
